Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with advanced or metastatic solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments.

Probably not a fit

Patients with other active malignancies requiring treatment or those with severe uncontrolled medical conditions may not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of IMA402, a T Cell-Engaging Receptor Molecule, in patients with recurrent and/or refractory solid tumors. The study is conducted in two phases: Phase Ia focuses on dose escalation to determine the maximum tolerated dose, while Phase Ib and II assess the drug's efficacy and safety in specific cohorts. Patients must have advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments, and the study will monitor their response to IMA402 over time.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with difficult-to-treat solid tumors.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies using T Cell-Engaging Receptor Molecules have shown promise, indicating potential for success in this novel approach.
